The woman who speaks English

This weekend we had a visitor who stayed a few nights.  K called her ' The woman who speaks English' at first but that changed to an enthousiastic Brenda! ...and a disappointed ...' where is Brenda...' on Sunday afternoon.

Otis discovered our visitor early Friday morning...when he was on his way to surprise me in the bathroom he saw that the door to his bedroom was open...and the light on...he looked around the corner...and saw this nice lady sitting there. He ...ran into the bathroom...saw me...and went back...looked around the corner again. After a few peaks he decided to walk into the room.  That was the beginning of a great friendship.

We had a blast these. Books were being read, towers build, songs sung, games played. Brenda got introduced to acro gym and judo.  We took her to Hema for dinner and Ikea for breakfast.


Big towers :-)

 Marble painting with Brenda. We printed the result on a canvas. A K orginal for Brenda :-)

 Look mom they have got the same kitchen as us @ Ikea  :-)

 Serious reading :-)

 the S for Snake..ahhhh scary

 We bought the Ikea truck with wooden blocks & a magnet. O and K both love it.

 Both K and O have been drawing a lot lately

The weather was great for a few days....warm and it felt like spring had started..this week back to cold & even heavy snows in the south.
K and I are in the mood for spring. So Snowman flag has been sent on vacation and we now have an apple tree on our door. We have been talking about spring and I am impressed...K knows a lot about spring.  So he has big plans for our apple tree :-)

K has watched an episode of Huisje Boompje Beestje where they talk about apples. He wants to plant an apple seed to see what happens...so we are going to start a milk carton garden. An idea I found on Facebook from grow food not lawns.

We got lucky with our easter tree this year. We got a few branches for free from a friendly gardner who was trimming her tree. We started easter art work straight away.   I also found last years art work but I am not sure we have enough room :-)
